Guys I'm really struggling with my identity as a gay Christian, it's bringing me to tears right now. Earlier today I had a customer say they were having a bad day because somebody told her that she and her wife were going to hell because they were gay, and then later on Facebook I saw a post from someone who is saying it's not possible to be a gay Christian, and doing so means rejecting Christ. I can't tell if this is God trying to communicate to me, or if it's some sort of attack from the devil, but it's left me in such a mess. I've believed in Christ ever since I was a little kid, he is my savior and his message to me is the most important thing to me in my life. I prayed to him to show me a sign on whether my identity as a gay Christian really is going to bring me to damnation, because I'm 30 and have been struggling with this ever since I started liking guys at the start of puberty. That's more than half my life, and I can't keep questioning myself like this. I feel so weak, and I'm afraid that God is not going to show me a sign. Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm just very distraught.

42 year old Dude separated from wife of 22 years. Strong Christian, with Bible College degree. Born and raised in the Bible Belt, Southeast USA.

I was always told gays are sinner and will go to hell going up. It was what was told to me by my family and my church. I never questioned it. Because why I am a “Straight” good Christian….

Even went off to school to go into ministry, got married had two children. Again everything a good Christian should do. Never really been “happy” in my marriage but always faithful. Both my wife and I were virgins.

Fast forward to today. Due to a lot of medical complications this year I am left in a wheelchair and learning to relive life again.
Simple things I did without thinking are difficult now.

Two weeks ago my wife said she wanted a separation.

Over the past two months and yes before the separation started and no the separation is not due to the following.

I met a Christian guy who I very much find attractive. The first guy I have ever found attractive. We are good friends however he is married to his husband and I know we will never be able to be together. But this all leads up to I personally think I might have been gay from the beginning. I never was in the dating scene in school days. I dated 3 girls ever and married the 3rd one. I never slept around or anything. I was committed to God, Ministry and going to school and doing things for the lord. I worked in the church for years. So now after meeting this new friend (long story but we feel like we have known each other for years) I am starting to think this separation could be a good time for me to look into if I am in fact gay. 🤷‍♂️ now my friends and family would all disown me if they knew. I have been studying the Bible as well trying to see my on all the gay / sin stuff. I personally never looked into it my self as I had not need to until now. And honestly I still unsure of the topic and if it’s sinful or not. I am struggling to fully understand. I guess I am just so new to this I am trying to find myself. In many ways I want to say okay I am ready to find a husband. But I know I have a lot against me. I am disabled in a wheelchair and I am starting to get up in age 42. So yeah I honestly have no clue what o am doing. What I believe anymore and even who I love. I a lot of ways I do want to get back with my wife but am I just lying to myself 🤦‍♂️.

Hi, my name's Chuck, and I was hoping to share an insecurity of mine that I've had since forever, in hopes that God may work through any of you to help me to resolve this.

Having grown up in a Baptist environment, I was taught that being gay is a sin, but ever since I was a teen, I noticed that I had genuine feelings of attraction to guys only... For context: I lean more toward the feminine side of things, and have always been drawn to very masculine men to complement my qualities. These feelings I have never really felt like something I could consciously choose—it feels natural to me, but maybe it isn't?

What scares me is that I was raised being taught that being gay is a choice and an abomination in God’s eyes, and that God created Adam and Eve as an example of what relationships ought to look like. Because of that, I keep wondering whether there’s something I’m not seeing—something about my sexuality that might genuinely be against God, even though to me it doesn’t feel like something I can chose.

I know God values our free will, and I don’t want to deliberately live in a way that dishonors Him. At the same time, I also know we live in a world where people can twist and propagandize just about anything, including God’s Word, and that makes it incredibly hard for me to know what to trust.

I'm afraid that maybe the devil is deceiving me by tricking me into believing that being gay isn't a choice. But then another part of me wonders if he's actually attacking me through the one's who taught me it's an abomination when it's not. All I know is I want an authentic relationship with God, and the only way I can think to meet him halfway is to just be single for the rest of my life; the alternative is to deceive a woman into thinking I like her, and I don't want that.

I’m not asking anyone here to simply tell me what I want to hear. I’m asking because I can't be the only one that has experianced this—trying to discern what is truly part of who you are, what is sin, and what comes from years of being exposed to homophobic rhetoric. I don't know what to do and I'm just praying that God may work through any of you to offer the guidance I need, as I know I'm not supposed to lean on my own understanding.

Thanks in advance, and may God bless each and every one of you on your own personal journeys!❤️

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

Je sais ici que je ne serai pas jugée et que possiblement certains, certaines prieront pour mon intention de prière. Voilà avec ma compagne nous avons des projets de vie future, enfants. On vit ensemble mais je suis partie la semaine dernière. Les tords sont partagés, je suis rancunière et elle a été pas très correcte au début de notre relation. Nous sommes ensemble depuis un peu plus de 3 ans. Mais nous sommes séparées depuis 1 semaine. Cependant, je conserve l'espoir (car l'amour est toujours là, la communication en revanche faut croire qu'on ne sait plus faire) qu'on se remette ensemble et que nous devons vivre ce qu'on a à vivre. Nous avons adopté un chat il y a 1 an, pour le moment il est avec moi.

Mon intention est la suivante, si telle est la volonté de Dieu bien sûr

Pour qu'Aurélie et Sarah se réconcilient rapidement et apaisent leur colère et leur coeurs. Amen

Bien fraternellement,

I am a devoted follower of Christ and I am dating a woman, I’m truly hoping this isn’t a homophobic environment, because I just want to make friends with other people who worship God and are not homophobic ❤️✝️

Im just so amazed, cant even begin to fathom this wonderful God we all belong to. I cant understand it, sometimes I get down and think what if I rlly am condemned, what if im actually going to hell for something about me I never could change and then I remember how jealous God is for me and how angry he is for me when im hurting and how hes always there, for everything!! Literally everything! The people i love most in this world, thats how he loves us and SO MUCH more????? How is that oh my gosh I cant wrap my head around it. Idk if this is a useful post, if it sparks conversation, but i know everyone here has or is struggling with being queer and following Christ and I totally am too but sometimes its just not so bad(*´▽｀) God bless yall, we r all so loved and immensely valued by our Lord.

I have a question for you Brothers universalists. I'm catholic, i believe in hell, not as a purgatory, as eternal separation. Though i'm AN hopeful universalist, i Hope it's real that no One goes to hell, but i don't believe in It, but i'm really curius about It, It has some great points. So i wanted to ask you, Why do you believe in universalism?

And i'm not only questioning you about morals, show me verses in the bible that for you proves universalism, i want to have discussions about It, because i'm genually curius
